Get Rid of Premature Greying Naturally: Make a Free Homemade Hair Dye Using Onion Peels — Even Chemical Products Can’t Compete

Growing white hair at a young age can be embarrassing and often affects confidence. Many people rely on expensive chemical-based dyes and salon treatments to cover their greying hair, but the results are temporary — and harsh chemicals can damage the scalp over time.
However, you can make a highly effective natural hair dye at home for free using a common kitchen waste item: onion peels.

Why Onion Peels?

Onion peels contain sulphur, vitamins A, C, and E, and phosphorus, which help strengthen hair, boost natural pigmentation, and reduce breakage. When prepared correctly, this homemade dye turns grey hair darker naturally, without causing damage.

3. Let them cool, then grind them into a fine powder.
4. Mix this powder with coffee powder.
5. Add coconut oil and the oil from Vitamin E capsules.
